Legend

this Mon Calamari starship pilot and former oceanographer was enslaved by an Imperial officer named Farvakine and forced to work on the planet Tatooine during the height of the New Order. In order to avoid dying from dehydration, Sissalik - known to his friends as "Slick" - killed his master by slowly adding a poison created from chubas to his personal water supply, and set out on his own. His escape from Tatooine led him to Ando, where he slowly recovered from the variety of health problems he suffered in Tatooine's dry climate. He eventually took a job working on the Nanda's Luck, despite the obstacles he faced as a Mon Calamarian. He proved to be a hard-working, loyal addition to the crew, attributes which bore themselves out when the Pirate Queen of Ando herself, Pyash Yopayomba, attacked the Nanda's Luck. She offered the vessel's Captain, Bipopa Bogzider, a chance to have the vessel repair in exchange for his surrender. Captain Bippi grudgingly surrendered, at which point Yopayomba cut off his head. She forced Sissalik to go to work for her as the new Captain of the Nanda's Luck, growling that nobody who worked for her ever surrendered, no matter what the situation. Sissalik once again found himself an indentured servant, as well as the unwitting accomplice in a grand scheme. Yopayomba had been led to believe that the Imperial governor of Ando would pay her handsomely for starting a civil war between the Aquala and the Quara, a war which the Empire could use to fully subjugate the Aqualish. Her plans failed, though, when Sissalik reprogrammed the autopilot on the Nanda's Luck, ramming the ship into Pyash's own flagship, the Majestic. All hands on board, including Sissalik himself, were killed in the explosion.
